There were rumors of the Washington Nationals bringing back Jeremy Hellickson late on Tuesday night. Now the two sides appear to be in an agreement on a deal as the Nats look to expand their starting pitching depth.
Craig Mish of SiriusXM was the first to report the two sides were talking last night, with Jamal Collier of MLB.com noting talks were progressing this morning. Then Jon Heyman of Fancred Sports reported that the deal was done for $1.3 million with $4 million in incentives.
Hellickson is coming off of a solid season with the Nationals in 2018 where he went 5-3 with a 3.
